Access Issue: Access to the north face crosses private property
Details
Access to the north face crosses private property which can be avoided via some serious bush whacking.
Due to the construction of a new home and a huge gate (monitored by a surveillance camera), its no longer possible to access the traditional trailhead and gain the obvious ridgeline leading to Apollo Chute. The new home sits right next to the water tanks that used to act as the landmark for the approach. Following the couloir drainage is unsafe due to loose rock (and rattlesnakes) and bushwhacking from the drainage to the ridgeline is a royal pain.
Description
Early spring couloirs on the north side of the peak offer nice alpine climbs. These are strictly snow climbs. See the Alpine Rock section for the rock climbs.
Getting There
From Wasatch Blvd turn on to Oakview Dr. At the top it turns right and becomes Gilead Way. Park at the end of the road.
Other access is from the Neff's Canyon trailhead.
